Tucked away in the peaceful community of Elk Creek Highlands, this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home in excellent condition offers space, privacy, and alpine charm--just an hour from the city. Set back from the road on a gentle wooded lot, this 1,892 sq. ft retreat invites you to kick your feet up and unplug. Let the dogs roam the fenced yard, unwind on the private deck, and soak in the serenity. A greenhouse and raised garden beds are ready for your summer harvests, just add sunshine and seedlings! Step inside through a large, practical mudroom (you'll want one in the mountains). From there, you're welcomed into a bright, open living and dining area with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and tons of natural light. The spacious and fully functional kitchen is ready for your favorite recipes. The exterior has been updated with a durable metal roof, newer paint, Hardie Board siding, and low-maintenance decking. A 2-year old washer and dryer set adds convenience and a radon mitigation system is already in place. Additional highlights include natural gas available at the property (not yet connected), a 2-car tuck-under tandem garage, and a flexible bonus room perfect for a workshop, art studio, home gym, or craft room. This home has primarily served as a summer getaway, so it's been well-loved but gently lived in-offering great bones and potential for personalization. To help bring your ideas to life, the seller is offering a $10,000 concession! Use it towards an upgrade, heating conversion, OR apply it to your rate buy-down or closing costs-the choice is yours! Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat or a full-time foothills lifestyle, this home delivers peace, potential, and a price point that makes it all attainable. Furnishings are negotiable, too!
